Bis[2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-4-methyl-6-(phenyliminomethyl-κN)phenolato-κO]palladium(II)

Abstract

In the title complex, [Pd(C20H15N4O)2], the PdII atom is tetracoordinated by two N atoms and two O atoms from two bidentate imine–benzotriazole phenolate ligands, forming a square-planar environment. The asymmetric unit contains two half-molecules in both of which the PdII atom lies on a centre of symmetry. The average distances between the PdII atom and the coordinated O and N atoms are 1.9831 (12) and 2.012 (2) Å, respectively.
